Secretary of State Remarks on Mediation and Boer Peace Efforts
The secretary of state cites the president's stance against entangling alliances and notes the United States offered mediation to Great Britain at the request of the Boer republics, which Lord Salisbury declined. He warns that mediation beyond current hostilities may be unadvisable and emphasizes neutrality, regretting a departure from impartiality could bring unfavorable consequences. The president’s desire to end the war is clear, but action remains restrained. The Senate debates a proposal to admit Boer envoys to the floor amid ongoing discussions with Secretary Hay.
